Here’s how additional borrowing works
Support your clients with their application to borrow more against their existing Residential and Buy to Let properties.
If your client is looking to do a rate switch as well as additional borrowing, you’ll need to submit these as separate applications. The rate switch application can only be submitted once the additional borrowing has completed. For more information please view our frequently asked questions.
